"My nephew naturally has a purpose in arranging for my second aunt to be the vice-principal of Five Cities Academy."
Yunxi said: "Although my nephew is also the principal of Wucheng Academy, he still has to deal with government affairs on weekdays. He does not have much time to deal with general affairs. These things can only be left to others."
"Chen Ji is currently the Secretary-General of Wucheng Academy. It's not that my nephew cannot trust Chen Ji, but Chen Ji is a civil servant after all, and some things may not be what my nephew thinks. In fact, Chen Ji is not very suitable for being the Secretary-General of Wucheng Academy.
He is the same as Chen Xingshan, and he is suitable to be sent to a government office like the General Political Department as an official. It's just that the nephew is trustworthy and the only one who has some qualifications but does not hold an important position is Chen Ji, so we can only arrange for him."
"So my nephew will arrange for a vice-principal. This vice-principal does not need to directly manage many things, but he will have to take a look at Chen Ji's handling. If anything is found to be inappropriate, communicate with Chen Ji and make corrections."
"But my nephew thought about it and couldn't think of a suitable candidate. Since Chen Ji is already a scholar, he can only choose another military commander or clan member. But there are many noble disciples in the Wucheng Academy, so most of them will be able to arrange a military commander.
"Partiality; and the children of the clan," Yunxi did not continue to explain, but Princess Ningguo certainly understood his concerns: this was a minister Yunxi trained for himself or his son, and she did not want other vassal kings to interfere.
"So my nephew, after much thought, only the second aunt is suitable. First, the second aunt and uncle have always been very upright, and my nephew can trust you." Regardless of whether Mei Yin is timid or fearful of things, there are various situations in the court anyway.
She was never impartial in the struggle and did not take part in any faction; Princess Ning Guo was even more cautious and made good friends with all her brothers and sisters, but that was just good friends.
"Secondly, when my nephew asked his second aunt to be the principal of the girls' school, he said the reason: 'Second aunt has a perseverant character and can endure hardships. This is what the nobles and officials of the Ming Dynasty lack. I hope that my second aunt can set an example.'
This is also the reason why my nephew asked his second aunt to be the vice-principal of Wucheng Academy this time."
"Thirdly, there are thirteen clan children in this school. Although my nephew asked them to treat them equally, except for Chen Ji, the other ministers may not be able to do it. My nephew wants the second aunt to control them more and not just corrupt them.
Royal reputation."
"But the official family," Princess Ningguo was so surprised that she called Yunxi by his name. Now she came back to her senses and of course she had to be more respectful: "I am a woman, and the students of Wucheng Academy are all men, so it is not appropriate.
."
"That's good." Yunxi continued: "As a woman, the second aunt must do things differently from men. Maybe she can detect things that men can't, which will be more beneficial to running the school."
"Moreover," Yunxi paused here and continued: "(Jianye)'s nephew in the fifth year of his life belittled Zhu Chengxue after returning from Annan and encouraged widows to remarry. My purpose is to make women no longer completely constrained by
In the boudoir, if the second aunt can be the vice-principal of the Five Cities Academy, it will definitely help achieve my goal."
"Furthermore, as a princess, the second aunt is different from ordinary women; the Five Cities Academy is not a court school but a private school. Even if the courtiers want to impeach her, they have nowhere to start, so they just do it."
"Since the official said so, I will serve as the vice-principal of the Five City School." Princess Ningguo said. She was moved by Yun Xi's words, "Let women no longer be completely restricted in the boudoir", and decided to stand up and support Yun Xi.
idea.
"Thank you, second aunt."
…
…
After hearing what Princess Ning Guo said, Chen Ji fell silent. Princess Ning Guo could not repeat Yun Xi's words, nor could she speak too straightforwardly, but Chen Ji understood what she meant and realized that His Majesty was unlikely to take back the order.
.
'No matter what, I will write a letter to remonstrate!' But Chen Ji still thought in his heart.
But since he is unlikely to let Yunxi take back the order, and he will not resign because his boss is a woman - firstly because he fulfills his duties, and secondly because Princess Ningguo is a princess and is different from ordinary women - he has to work with
Princess Ning Guo talks about the Five Cities School.
"Now the teachers for each course have been selected and classes have begun. The monitors of the three classes and the two student union officers have been selected to assist subordinates and the secretary in handling general affairs."
Chen Ji introduced the events in Wucheng Academy in more detail. Princess Ningguo thought for a moment and said: "There are fifty students in the entire academy, including thirteen clan members. But I just saw that the three monitors and
There is only one member of the clan among the two office-bearers, so it seems that clan members are not well-received by the public."
"The late emperor was extremely doting on the clan's children and was extremely harsh on the nobles. Therefore, most of the clan's children were domineering, but few of the clan's children were too domineering. Therefore, most of the clan's children had a bad impression. On weekdays,
I don't dare to offend you, but this time the selection of monitors and officers is done through anonymous voting, so..." Chen Ji told the truth.
"In this case, I must take good care of them and never let them only smear the royal family." Princess Ningguo said.
They talked for a while, and noon had passed. Princess Ningguo stood up and walked to the window to look outside. She saw no one. She turned to Chen Ji and said: "How to manage the Five City School? I will go back and think about it. I will wait for Xiu to take a bath."
I will come back in the future. Daily matters will be handled by the Secretary, but every handling must be recorded."
"Yes, Vice Principal." Chen Ji agreed without changing his expression.
Early on the next morning, Chen Ji finished giving instructions on the affairs of the Five Cities School. He left the school and came to the gate of the imperial city. He took out something and said to the guards guarding him: "Common Chen Ji wants to see your majesty. This is the badge given to me by your majesty."
." Although he is no longer an official, his badge to enter and exit the imperial city has not been taken back. This is one of the reasons why he is still considered to be valued by Yunxi.
He came here to remonstrate with Yunxi about Princess Ningguo's appointment as the vice-principal of Wucheng Academy. He originally wanted to submit a memorial, but just as he was about to write, he suddenly felt that it was difficult to explain such a matter clearly in documents, so he decided to ask Yunxi to see him.
Give advice face to face.
"Chen, Mr. Chen can naturally enter and exit the imperial city. But His Majesty has already left the palace early in the morning. Even if Mr. Chen enters the palace, he will not be able to see His Majesty." The guard said.
"Your Majesty left the palace early this morning?" Chen Ji repeated. Today is the holiday on February 15th and there is no need to go to court. The emperor can indeed leave the palace at this time. But, "Why did your Majesty leave the palace so early?"
…
…
"The plan for a year begins in spring, and the plan for a day begins in the morning. Although it is only two o'clock in the morning, look at this thousands of miles of fertile land, farmers are already everywhere." At this time, just outside the capital, Yunxi stood.
On a high slope, he pointed to the fields not far away and said to the people next to him. (To be continued)
